London: So, the big match is coming up! Tottenham is gearing up to face Arsenal in the north London derby, and there’s a lot to talk about.
Lucas Bergvall really shone in the last game against Liverpool, and now Ange Postecoglou has some tough choices to make in midfield. With Dejan Kulusevski likely to be up front, Bergvall is in a battle for a spot with Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and James Maddison.
Interestingly, Bergvall didn’t start in the FA Cup match against Tamworth, so he should be fresh and ready to go against an Arsenal side that’s been struggling lately.
As for the defense, it looks pretty set. Antonin Kinsky, the new signing, is expected to be in goal again. Ben Davies is back in training after his hamstring issue, but he might not make the squad just yet. Richarlison and Mikey Moore will likely be on the bench.
On the flip side, Brennan Johnson might be dropped after not making much of an impact last weekend. Timo Werner is out with a hamstring injury, and Rodrigo Bentancur is still recovering from a concussion.
Other injuries include Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, who won’t be back until later this month. Guglielmo Vicario is on track to return by late February, but Wilson Odobert is out for the long haul.
So, here’s how Tottenham might line up: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Solanke. Just a few doubts with Davies, but that’s the gist of it!
Mark your calendars for 8 PM GMT on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium. You can catch the action on TNT Sports and Discovery+.
